It brings out the best in them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lady Sharks will need that competitive fire after losing several key players off of last year\u2019s team such as infielder Melissa Mayeux and pitcher Tiffany Dodson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayeux, who transferred to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, had a .431 batting average with six home runs and 59 RBI for the team last season. Dodson, who transferred to Warner University in Lake Wales, Florida, had a 12-13 record and a 3.93 earned run average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s squad features 16 freshmen.

If someone makes an error we need to have their back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hard work is starting to pay off, the Lady Sharks say.\u00a0 They believe the team is
